Join Us

When you join the Association (local, state, and national), you join forces with over 34,000 of your colleagues here in Iowa and 3.2 million educators nationwide. That strong membership base give us the strength, power, and resources to accomplish more together than any individual or small group can do alone. Here are our various membership categores:

• Professional Membership
  Professional members include classroom teachers, counselors, librarians, nurses, and other professionals employed by K-12 school districts, area education agencies, community colleges, and state universities.
• Educational Support
  Educational Support membership is available for currently employed school secretaries, classroom aides, custodians, food service, maintenance, and transportation workers.
• Students
  Our Student members are education majors attending Iowa colleges and universities.
• Annual and Lifetime Retired
  Annual and Lifetime Retired memberships are offered to retired individuals who were formerly eligible for professional or educational support membership.
• Pre-Retired (IAM) Membership
  Under the "I AM" program, current ISEA members pay only $58.80 a year for ten years to become "prepaid subscribers" to an NEA/ISEA Pre-retired Lifetime Retired membership.
